One thing I forgot to mention that the files themselves will probably run between 12 - 14 megs per pop before they even touch the mysql/php server (this is all done by hand). I'm not even sure how much space they will take up when being entered in to the database. On average it should be about 150-200 variables (mostly date/timestamps, 3-comma integers, tinytext, and a few tables with 512+ character notes).

I have a friend running a forum/CMS which is getting pounded (at noon) with 60 hits/second. He's running a P3 1.6Ghz, 1GB memory, Red Hat Linux 7.2 (Enigma) and he's coping just fine ;) (it's shared hosting aswell) so I will probably need to > build a pretty hoss database server and front-end to handle all of the > php function calls.
